I use Home and End like crazy, which is one reason I haven't switched to OS/X as my main machine.
Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E work in most input controls, and definitely work in the terminal.

How do you scroll up in a terminal window?

moe: "...a terminal window"
Redundancy alert!
No, I meant in bash. I guess as a developer he spends some time there (that might be a false assumption, of course).
I've been using Shift+PGUP for ages and absolutely despise Laptops where it's buried under FN+Cursor - which usually requires both hands to press.
Perhaps there's an alternative key combination that I don't know about - which is part of why I ask.

In Terminal.app I just wave my fingers over the track pad to scroll. However 99.9% of the time I'm in a screen window which maintains its own buffer. Fn + Up/Down is Page Up/Down in most applications I've used.
All of my bash shells are run in GNU screen. So scrolling up is C-a [ to enter copy-mode. Then C-u to scroll up and C-d to scroll down.
I develop on Debian running on a MacBook Pro. Sometimes the screen size bothers me, but the laptop being bigger would probably inconvenience me more.
I might be an unusual case, but perhaps what you imagine the market for developers to be isn't the actual market for developers.
